There’s a big bah humbug cloud lurking over our festive skies this year. Threatening to stamp on our Christmas baubles and down all our festive spirit in one gluttonous glug.
The Brexit deal. Or lack of it. Or the uncertainty of it. It is the unwelcome...

There’s nothing like attending a milestone birthday to get you talking about the good old days. The days when you walked around a shop with a trolley to buy your food, you faxed insurance renewal forms, the closest thing to hummus was Shipham’s paste and...

It doesn’t take much to get us all together does it? To get us all singing from the same hymn sheet. To feel like we’re all in the same boat. One for all and all for one.

Well if you haven’t clicked off yet given the rather, some would say dry, dull and daunting subject manner then that’s a good start. It probably means that like me you are probably confused. And concerned. We’ve only just got our heads round (and mastered)...

We talk a lot of twaddle in PR and marketing, don’t we? It’s almost become a defining characteristic of the industry. We ‘idea-ise’ outside the box, we don’t draw, but we think about bigger pictures and we boast about our share of voice. And with a...
